"Butterflies and Roses"- I thought this would be a fun fusion of a challenge of drawing on a napkin and a draw this again challenge. This was from a larger illustration I did way back in 2010, it was so much fun to re-draw this design. And equally as fun to doodle on a napkin! I used a mechanical pencil, white acrylic ink and a gold ink pen. I hope this looks alright, it was a challenge to photograph. Thanks for looking at my little doodle!

Pen and ink on napkin. Sakura Gelly Roll Pens. It’s funny I never noticed the pattern on the napkins on my dining room table. The flowers were quite quaint and delicate. I decided to highlight the original flower pattern and let that inspire my pattern and mark-making. I love collaborating with the most unexpected of collaborators. I can see why so many great ideas are first sketched onto napkins, the no pressure canvas. I believe some of Jim Henson’s characters were first fleshed out on a napkin. Cheers to the napkin!

I chose to write "When in doubt, just doodle it out" on my napkin because it is a phrase that most successfully describes the way that I get unstuck while making work. And at the moment when I saw the contest I was working on a project and was a bit stuck!

I walk a lot of streets of downtown Toronto, taking pictures and sketching buildings. I thought this old church door was appealing enough for the napkin drawing challenge because of the detail in the old brickwork.

I doodle on napkins all the time! I doodled this one at our favorite restaurant bar: Leo's Pub & Grille in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. Occasionally I'll leave the napkin folded on the table, but with a little Easter Egg around the edge, a little unexpected bonus for the person who finds it and likes it enough to explore.

While I was waiting for a friend, I saw you... and here we meet again ! My first love: My Coffee... I have never had such a truthful relationship like I have with you ! And so there and then I decided to draw our amazing journey... and then waiting was not so bad, it was actually amazing !

Music and food, that's keeps me going. While I was listening to MJ in a restaurant and having my breakfast, I had only this piece of napkin to draw something. I realized, that MJ song names will make so much sense with the food I love! Like "The way you make me feel", "Beat it", "Super bowl".
It was just a though and doodled it on this napkin.
Here I submit "MJ & food lyrical reality" through my doodle work.
